As U.S. Land Coordinator, I am responsible for formulating and implementing strategies for identifying potential land sites suitable for renewable energy projects, including conducting land and grid feasibility assessments, land referencing and appropriate due diligence checks. Managing relationships with landowners and other stakeholders through engagement and negotiation is a core component of my role to ensure lease agreements, easements, and other land rights with landowners are secured, working in collaboration with legal and finance teams and other internal stakeholders to secure the best value for the project. My role also comprises a substantial level of project management support, not limited to leading the project management on two of our larger 150 MW solar and BESS hybrid projects, in addition to supporting the development of our full U.S. pipeline. This has provided me with extensive experience in understanding the key processes of the Grid (LMP, Injection Studies, Grid Application - Cost and Timings) and Planning (Permits, EIA, CIA, Title Reports) requirements for developing renewable energy projects across multiple states, as well as exposure to the operations of the U.S. financial market for renewable energy.
